Can both score and distribute very well, and rebounds strongly for a guard. Possesses the length of a small forward and plays with good speed and quickness and a lot of creative moves. A lefty with a 6-foot-9 wingspan, making him hard to guard. Will get his share of steals.

Flaws:

Requires a lot of work on three key guard skills: ball security, outside shooting, and making the right play at the right time. Can get a bit out of control at times and must improve his overall playmaking efficiency. Must be better on free throws.

Career Potential:

Big, creative combo guard with starter tools.

76ers coach Brett Brown said the team is concerned about the health of guard Tony Wroten according to Calkins Media.

Impact

Wroten flew to California to see a knee specialist, so this does not sound like good news. He hasn't been ruled out for Friday's game yet, but fantasy owners should prepare for the worse.

76ers guard Tony Wroten will not play on Friday against the Pelicans due to a knee issue.

sportsnetwork.com

Impact

Wroten has a knee sprain and is going to miss quite a bit more time. Wroten has also been reported to be on the trade block, so owners cannot expect the 76ers to rush him back.

76ers guard Tony Wroten had 20 points to lead Philadelphia in scoring on Saturday.

sportsnetwork.com

Impact

Wroten came off the bench and played 29 minutes against the Pacers. He only shot 6-of-17, but he made two 3-pointers and 6-of-7 at the free-throw line. Wroten also had nine assists in a solid fantasy night.

News

76ers guard Tony Wroten came off the bench to play 33 minutes on Friday and lead the team in scoring.

sportsnetwork.com

Impact

Wroten was 10-for-19 shooting, including 4-for-9 from behind the arc. He scored 28 points and had three assists, three steals and two rebounds. Along with Michael Carter-Williams, Wroten is really the only other player from the 76ers owners would want on their fantasy teams.

Wroten didn't shoot very great, going 8-for-17, on his way to 20 points. He also contributed six rebounds and two steals. Even off the bench, Wroten is a decent fantasy option for the star-hungry 76ers.

Wroten (17.9 ppg, 3.3 rpg, 6.3 apg) will likely come off the bench at both PG and SG and should still see his full compliment of minutes, but may not score as much with Michael Carter-Williams and Robert Covington scoring at a high level.

He also had eight assists, four rebounds, one steal, two 3-pointers, and four turnovers. It will be interesting to see how much time Wroten gets once Michael Carter-Williams re-enters to starting lineup.

He was filling in for the injured Michael Carter-Williams, and posted a nice stat line. Wroten was 9-of-21 for 22 points, while also adding seven assists, eight rebounds, and three steals. Once MCW returns from injury, Wroten will move back to the bench, but as long as he continues to see minutes, he will be able to provide numbers for fantasy owners.

76ers guard Tony Wroten does a little bit of everything but nothing all that well.

sportsnetwork.com

Impact

Wroten will likely average over 11 PPG, close to three rebounds and assists per game and nearly a steal per game. He won't lite up any one category. Keep in mind, Wroten is also a very poor free-throw shooter. He shot 64.1 percent from the line last season.

Tony Wroten becoming a more judicious passer | 04/16/2014 9:51 AM

News

Tony Wroten said that he's learned to "pick his spots" for passes this season, to cut down on his 2.8 turnovers per game.

Delco Times

Impact

"This season, I learned a lot," Wroten said. "I don't try to make the home runs as much. I try to make the right play." While his passing is a work in progress, there's nothing wrong with Wroten's ability to get into the paint -- he took a whopping 72.4 percent of his FG attempts within eight feet of the hoop this season.

Tony Wroten scores 20 off the bench | 04/14/2014 10:35 PM

News

Tony Wroten scored 20 points off the bench during Monday's 113-108 win over the Celtics, adding two boards, four assists, two steals and seven turnovers.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

The Sixers had a 26-game losing streak this year, but they won't have the worst record because they were out-tanked by the Milwaukee Bucks. Wroten was horrible with the Grizzlies last season, had one of the worst showings of any player in Las Vegas Summer League, and yet he was still able to play well with the Sixers this season.

Wroten scores 18 points off the bench | 04/12/2014 1:39 AM

News

Tony Wroten scored 18 points off the bench on Friday, hitting 6-of-14 shots (0-for-3 from deep, 6-of-8 from the line) with two rebounds, three assists and one steal in 21 minutes.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Wroten has been very inconsistent lately but he could be ready to heat up. James Anderson was limited to just five points, three rebounds, one three and one block in his 30 minutes, and it's possible these two will trade off having serviceable games going forward.

Tony Wroten scores just six points off bench | 03/29/2014 10:22 PM

News

Tony Wroten returned to action on Saturday with six points, six boards, nine assists and one 3-pointer in 21 minutes vs. the Pistons.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

His ankle injury only cost him three games and he looked fine. Wroten has one of the more unique shot selections in the NBA with only four of his 263 shots coming in the mid-range over his past two months. He's solved his field goal shooting woes to go with some points and steals, so he's worth owning in certain situations.

Tony Wroten (ankle) ready to play vs. Detroit | 03/29/2014 6:26 PM

News

Tony Wroten (ankle) will return to action on Saturday, as expected.

Keith Pompey on Twitter

Impact

Wroten will come off the bench where he's averaging 13 fewer minutes and six fewer points compared to his starts this season. It's a favorable matchup for Wroten's attacking style since the Pistons have given up the sixth-most field goals within five feet of the hoop, despite having a huge frontcourt with Andre Drummond protecting the rim.

Tony Wroten (ankle) probable vs. Detroit | 03/29/2014 5:16 PM

News

Tony Wroten (ankle) is listed as probable for Saturday's game vs. Detroit.

Chris Vito on Twitter

Impact

Wroten sat out Philly's recent three-game road trip and his return is welcome news as the Sixers try to avoid losing their 27th consecutive game, which would set a new NBA record. Wroten will likely steal a few minutes from starting SG James Anderson, as well as fantasy also-rans like Hollis Thompson, Jarvis Varnado, Elliot Williams and James Nunnally.

That rules his out on Monday vs. the Spurs and Thursday vs. the Rockets. Wroten was playing well and gave the Sixers a nice jolt on the wing to help make opposing defenses collapse, but now they'll have to count more on James Anderson and Hollis Thompson. Wroten owners should probably just cut him at this point in the season.

Update: Wroten (ankle) not traveling to CHI | 03/21/2014 11:31 PM

News

Updating an earlier item, Tony Wroten (ankle) will not travel with the team for the start of their three-game trip.

Bucks County Courier Times

Impact

Wroten was on crutches after the game and he's most certainly out for Saturday's game against the Bulls, but it's theoretically possible that he meets up with the team for Monday's game in San Antonio or Thursday's game in Houston. The Sixers return home for Saturday's game against the Pistons. If you want to soften your decision on a drop to see if he can get back Monday or Thursday there's a chance he returns, but we wouldn't call it likely if we had to guess.

Wroten (ankle) will not travel on road trip | 03/21/2014 10:10 PM

News

Tony Wroten will not travel for the Sixers' upcoming three-game road trip after injuring his ankle in Friday's game.

Tom Moore on Twitter

Impact

Wroten scored 12 points on 4-of-9 shooting (2-of-6 3PTs, 2-of-6 FTs) with three rebounds and four assists in 33 minutes, which is barely paying the bills for standard league owners. There's not enough upside to justify holding him in most 12-14 team formats. James Anderson's value was fairly solid before the game and despite the injury, so he should be owned and/or held despite hitting just 3-of-14 shots for eight points, six boards, two steals and a three over 35 minutes.

Tony Wroten still starting, Thompson to bench | 03/21/2014 6:21 PM

News

Tony Wroten will remain in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Knicks.

Chris Vito on Twitter

Impact

James Anderson will move back into the starting lineup and the Sixers will match the Knicks with a smaller lineup. Wroten has injected a lot of life into the Sixers offense for his attacking style, which certainly will help against a defense like the Knicks due to their inability on help defense. Wroten is still worth starting in most formats tonight.

Tony Wroten plays well against Chicago D | 03/19/2014 10:05 PM

News

Tony Wroten made another start in place of injured James Anderson and hit 6-of-16 shots and four 3-pointers for 17 points, six rebounds, seven assists and two steals.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He was also aggressive and got to the rim at will, but hit just 1-of-6 free throws on the night. As long as Anderson is out, Wroten looks like a smart play. He also had 17 points in Monday's start.

Tony Wroten starting again for Sixers | 03/19/2014 5:36 PM

News

Tony Wroten will make another start against the Bulls on Wednesday.

Keith Pompey on Twitter

Impact

He is starting in place of James Anderson (thigh) and should have plenty of shots go his way. Although, the Bulls are fantastic at keeping guys out of the paint, which is really the only thing Wroten does well. He'll be a risky, high-upside player to use in most formats tonight.

Tony Wroten will start at SG vs. Pacers | 03/17/2014 11:54 AM

Tony Wroten will start at SG with James Anderson (thigh) unavailable vs. Indiana on Monday.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Wroten has started 13 games this season, during which he's averaged a solid 18.4 points, 0.9 threes, 4.5 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.3 steals. He's also made 44.0 percent of his field goals in those contests and the only clear downside is his 58.7 percent mark at the FT line.

Wroten plays just 13 minutes on Friday | 03/15/2014 12:36 AM

News

Tony Wroten played just 13 minutes on Friday against the Pacers, scoring eight points on 1-of-4 shooting (6-of-6 FTs) with one rebound, zero assists and three steals.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

The steals and free throws help this line along Wroten has hit 72.5 percent of his free throws in the last month, which helps considering the career 64 percent shooter has taken 6.3 per game in that span. Still, that's highly prohibitive and in general he needs at least 26-28 minutes per game to float any late round value. He's been doing that in 8-cat leagues over the last two weeks but he has very little leash after a night like this and isn't a must-own player.

Wroten scores 23 points off the bench | 03/10/2014 11:33 PM

News

Tony Wroten scored 23 points on 8-of-18 shooting (7-of-8 FTs) with five rebounds, three assists and five turnovers in 29 minutes off the bench on Monday.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Wroten didn't hit a three but if he's not going to shoot owners out of their weekly matchups then he's get big upside. Of course, his bad shooting isn't going to change overnight and altogether he's a low-end, late-round value in 8-cat formats over the past two weeks. In 9-cat formats his 3.0 giveaways per game has sunk his value unless you're punting, obviously.

Tony Wroten blows up for 30 points in loss | 03/08/2014 10:32 PM

News

Tony Wroten got hot and hit 12-of-15 shots for 30 points, one assist and four steals off the bench on Saturday.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Wroten is hot again, despite coming off the bench, averaging 16.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.8 steals on 47 percent shooting over his last five games. However, he's gone cold from downtown, hitting just 1-of-9 3-pointers over that stretch.

Tony Wroten scores team-high 19 points | 03/01/2014 10:44 PM

News

Tony Wroten scored a team-high 19 points during Saturday's 122-103 loss to the Wizards to go with three boards, two assists, one steal and one block in 27 minutes.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Wroten's style had won over the heart of coach Brett Brown because he will attack the basket no matter what the defense looks like. It's led to Wroten taking 12.6 shots per game over his last five, averaging 17.2 points, 3.4 boards, 2.0 assists, 0.6 blocks and 0.8 steals on 46.0 percent from the field and 70.0 percent from the line in that stretch. If he can hold those percentages, he would become a must-own player. Of course, that's a big if.

Brett Brown doesn't like Wroten's defense | 02/28/2014 11:09 AM

News

Coach Brett Brown ripped into Tony Wroten's defense Thursday.

Delco Times

Impact

"You've been AAU, and that's not a good thing," Brown told the 20-year-old Wroten. It's one of the reasons he's not going to start at shooting guard as the Sixers turn to a bigger lineup featuring Michael Carter-Williams, James Anderson, Hollis Thompson, Thad Young and Henry Sims. Wroten is a scorer off the bench. "I don't see him having that foundation, and it's up to me to create that," Brown said on Wroten's defense. Look for him to hover around 24-28 minutes the rest of the way.

Tony Wroten hit 4-of-9 shots and 7-of-9 free throws for 15 points, five rebounds and two blocks in 26 minutes off the Sixers bench on Wednesday.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He had been starting but the Sixers mixed up their lineup tonight. Wroten is still worth holding, as he's one of their best scorers, while Eric Maynor (13 points) and Elliot Williams (4 points) also came off the bench and each played 18 minutes.

Tony Wroten coming off the bench on Wed. | 02/26/2014 6:18 PM

News

Tony Wroten will come off the bench on Wednesday vs. the Magic.

Tom Moore on Twitter

Impact

The move makes sense for the Sixers because Wroten's skill set translates nicely to being a sixth man. Wroten looks like a lock for about 30 minutes per night, which should allow him to score in the teens with some steals and treys. If you don't care much about percentages, he's worth owning in all standard leagues.

Wroten scores 19 points with five assists | 02/24/2014 10:50 PM

News

Tony Wroten scored 19 points on 9-of-15 shooting with two rebounds, five assists and one steal in Monday's blowout loss to the Bucks.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Wroten hit 1-of-1 free throws and that's a huge win for him. When blessed with a high workload like the 30 minutes he got tonight, he has been able to turn around a late-round value based on solid popcorn numbers and terrible shooting percentages.

Tony Wroten to play more minutes at SG | 02/24/2014 5:34 PM

News

Tony Wroten will be used off the ball on Monday night vs. the Bucks.

Tom Moore on Twitter

Impact

This is actually an encouraging sign for Wroten's playing time. Before Friday, he rarely played next to Michael Carter-Williams and now he might get most of his minutes in that role. He's an interesting add in some league as long as his potential owners are aware of his troublesome percentages.

Tony Wroten takes 14 shots for Philly | 02/21/2014 10:46 PM

News

Tony Wroten shot 6-of-14 from the field for 21 points with four boards, two assists, one steal and five turnovers in 29 minutes against the Mavericks on Friday.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He was very aggressive tonight and got to the 13 times, making nine of them. While Wroten is going to get more playing time, he has one of the ugliest free throw strokes in the NBA and it's led to him shooting 62 percent from the line on the year. He's also going to shoot more of those, so he might be the worst guard for free throw percentage. If you don't care about that, he's worth owning in standard leagues.

Tony Wroten coming off the bench | 02/21/2014 6:02 PM

News

Tony Wroten is expected to come off the bench on Friday.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

There are some conflicting reports on the starting lineups right now and the probables have Elliot Williams in there. It makes a little more sense to put Wroten in as a backup to Michael-Carter Williams, but coach Brett Brown could use Lorenzo Brown in that role. We'll add another update once the official starters are named.

Tony Wroten's playing time with MCW a bit low | 02/20/2014 5:51 PM

News

Of Tony Wroten's 21.5 minutes per game in his last 12 games, 7.3 of them have been next to Michael Carter-Williams.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Wroten returned from an ankle sprain back on Jan. 25 and coach Brett Brown has kept his minutes next to MCW fairly consistent, putting the pair on the court for 7.4 minutes per game on the season. Carter-Williams is a worse shooter next to Wroten and isn't really better in any other area, so it's looking a little unlikely for Brown to alter how he uses the two even with the loss of two of his starters on Thursday. Plus, Wroten is not a very good shooter from the field or from the line, which means there's not enough upside to add him in most formats.

Tony Wroten scores team-high 21 points | 02/10/2014 12:15 AM

News

Tony Wroten scored a team-high 21 points off the bench during Sunday's ugly loss, making 7-of-11 field goals and 7-of-9 free throws.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He added three rebounds, two assists and three steals in 23 minutes of action. Wroten is averaging just 27 minutes in February yet he's compiled impressive averages of 18.2 points on 54.2 percent shooting, 3.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.2 steals. Just as important is his improved shooting at the FT line, as the slashing guard is 38-of-46 from the stripe since returning from an ankle injury. Unfortunately, as long as Michael Carter-Williams is healthy it's hard to recommend Wroten as more than a deep-league option.

Tony Wroten scored 16 points off the bench on Friday, hitting 6-of-9 shots (including a 3/4 court three) with four rebounds and four turnovers in 18 minutes.

Impact

Wroten had goose eggs everywhere else and even his 3-pointer was fluky so this was not a good game from a fantasy standpoint. He has to put up big popcorn numbers to offset his shooting issues, primarily.

Tony Wroten scored 18 points for the third straight game on Wednesday, adding four assists, a steal and a 3-pointer on 5-of-13 shooting.

Wroten is hot again and was helped by James Anderson playing limited minutes with a back contusion tonight. It sounds like Anderson is OK, but Wroten is playing well enough to be owned in most leagues right now.

News

Tony Wroten scored 18 points off the bench against the Nets on Monday with six boards, three assists one steal and four turnovers in 25 minutes.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He was up to his usual attacking ways tonight and went right at the Nets in transition. Wroten has been effective off the bench for the most part and seems to be improving, but his sub-par shooting percentages basically negate his output in points, assists and steals. He's only an option in deeper leagues while Michael Carter-Williams is healthy.

Tony Wroten plays well in start for MCW | 02/01/2014 10:43 PM

Tony Wroten started in place of injured Michael Carter-Williams (shoulder, day-to-day) on Saturday and had 18 points, three rebounds, five assists and a steal on 8-of-19 shooting Saturday.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He's no longer worth starting on nights when MCW is playing, mainly due to James Anderson getting a lot of minutes at shooting guard, but any time MCW is out, Wroten is a nice (cheap) option at point guard.

Tony Wroten will get the start against the Pistons on Saturday.

Impact

He will take over for Michael Carter-Williams (shoulder). Wroten has been very active in his 11 starts this season, averaging 18.4 points, 4.8 boards, 5.3 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.1 triples. He's not exactly a percentage dynamo, but he's worth owning in all standard leagues while MCW is out of the lineup.

76ers hope Tony Wroten can improve PG skills | 02/01/2014 2:41 PM

The 76ers are hopeful that Tony Wroten can improve his point guard skills and mentality.

Daily Times

Impact

"We know he can get to the rim, but you have to grow to make other people better," said coach Brett Brown. "We challenge him always. You're more than just an attack guy at the rim." Wroten's ankle isn't 100 percent healthy and he's in the midst of a slump, shooting just 8-of-33 from the field in the past four games, and there's no reason to approach him in standard fantasy formats.

Tony Wroten hit just 1-of-13 shots (4-of-4 FTs) for six points, one rebound, three assists and one steal in 19 minutes off the bench on Friday.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Wroten might have been a speculative add earlier in the week but he has really hit a wall and owners can do better at this time. He won't be this bad going forward, but he needs to at least ascend to the level of sixth man to provide any real value.

76ers coach second-guessing rotations | 01/29/2014 10:27 AM

News

76ers coach Brett Brown admitted that his rotations might be different "if this weren't the year of development and trying to uncover things."

Philadelphia Inquirer & Daily News

"Mine might not be the best way of doing things," Brown said. "The rotations are always a mystery. I'm always second-guessing it ... I'm going to end [games] with the best players who are playing well that night - whether that's Lavoy [Allen] or Tony [Wroten], or whatever." The Sixers defense has been particularly bad and it's not clear that they have the personnel to drastically improve, so we can expect more and more experimentation from Brown in the second half of the season.

Tony Wroten returned from an ankle injury on Saturday and had nine points and two assists in 17 minutes.

The swelling is down in Wroten's ankle and he's out of his walking boot. If he returns, James Anderson's minutes figure to take a hit. Coach Brett Brown had been experimenting with playing Wroten and Michael Carter-Williams together some before the sprain.

Tony Wroten won't play vs. the Knicks Wed. | 01/22/2014 6:16 PM

News

Tony Wroten (ankle) will not play against the Knicks on Wednesday night.

Tom Moore on Twitter

Impact

He was unlikely to go and this will be his second game out of the lineup. Elliot Williams and Hollis Thompson should get some extra minutes, but neither are on the radar in almost any fantasy league.

Tony Wroten (ankle) doubtful on Wednesday | 01/22/2014 12:07 PM

News

Tony Wroten (ankle) is "highly unlikely" to play vs. the Knicks on Wednesday.

Dei Lynam on Twitter

Impact

He already said that he won't return until he's 100 percent recovered, and owners can safely assume that he's out vs. the Knicks. With Michael Carter-Williams running out of steam in recent games, Lorenzo Brown may get solid minutes as Philly's reserve PG.

Tony Wroten not rushing ankle injury | 01/21/2014 10:53 AM

News

Tony Wroten (ankle) isn't planning on rushing back.

Philadelphia Inquirer & Daily News

Impact

Wroten is feeling better, but doesn't want to rush back after injuring his ankle during Saturday's loss to Chicago. "I don't want to rush any injury," Wroten said. "It's a long season. A sprained ankle, if you don't take care of it, it can go on long in your career. So I'm just taking my time and waiting until I'm back 100 percent." Wroten is still wearing a walking boot and getting repetitive treatment, so it could be at least a few days until we see Wroten on the court again. Hollisa Thompson, Elliot Williams, and Lorenzo Brown will pick up more minutes in his absence.

Tony Wroten doesn't have a timetable | 01/20/2014 6:45 PM

News

Tony Wroten said after Monday's game that he doesn't have a timetable to return from his ankle sprain.

Chris Vito on Twitter

Impact

He could barely put weight on his right leg as he exited the game against the Bulls on Saturday. The Sixers almost never play their guys at less than 100 percent, and Wroten backed that up with his statement after Monday's game. "An ankle is something you don't want to rush," Wroten said. "I just want to take my time & wait till it's 100 percent." Elliot Williams and Hollis Thompson will pick up some extra playing time.

Tony Wroten (ankle) doubtful on MLK Day | 01/20/2014 11:07 AM

News

Tony Wroten (right ankle) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game in Washington.

Tom Moore on Twitter

Impact

He turned his ankle badly on Saturday and needed two teammates to help him into the locker room, so this update comes as no surprise. Elliot Williams and Lorenzo Brown will each pick up more minutes until Wroten is ready to return.

Tony Wroten exits with ankle injury vs. CHI | 01/18/2014 8:46 PM

News

Tony Wroten suffered an apparent left ankle sprain in the second quarter of Saturday's game.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He had the training staff look at his foot after stepping on Nazr Mohammed's foot. Wroten attacks the basket a lot and puts himself at risk and hopefully he'll be fine. If he can't go, Elliot Williams and Hollis Thompson might pick up some extra playing time.

Tony Wroten scores a team-high 13 | 01/17/2014 10:23 PM

News

Tony Wroten scored a team-high 13 points off the bench on Friday with three boards, three assists, two steals, one block and one 3-pointer in 26 minutes.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

In usual Wroten fashion, he shot 4-of-13 from the field and 4-of-8 from the line. Wroten took a tumble in this game during the fourth quarter, but did not miss time. His terrible percentages make it tough to own him in standard leagues.

76ers bench a concern for coach Brett Brown | 01/13/2014 9:52 AM

News

76ers coach Brett Brown pointed to his inexperienced bench as a cause of Philly's current four-game losing streak.

Philadelphia Inquirer & Daily News

Impact

"You look at the age and the resum of our bench, and let's just start there," Brown said. "That's not an insult. That's just the truth ... We have inexperienced players. We're trying to identify and polish up our key players, and apply resum, experience and payroll to our bench, and you see that's always a challenge." Tony Wroten leads all of Philly's reserves, scoring 11.0 points as a reserve this season, and no cavalry is coming beyond big men Lavoy Allen (calf) and Arnett Moultrie (ankle).

Tony Wroten returns, plays 21 minutes | 01/10/2014 9:45 PM

News

Tony Wroten played 21 minutes in his return from an illness on Friday with five points, two boards, three assists, one steal, two blocks and four turnovers.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He shot 1-of-6 from the field and 3-of-6 from the line in a very inefficient offensive game. The Sixers made a change to their rotation tonight with James Anderson joining the starting unit, but Wroten's role should remain the same. He's only worth owning in deeper leagues until he can shoot better percentages or Michael Carter-Williams misses time.

Tony Wroten is available for Friday | 01/10/2014 5:24 PM

News

Tony Wroten (illness) is available to play against the Pistons on Friday.

Chris Vito on Twitter

Impact

He sat out two games earlier this week due to an illness, but was back at practice on Thursday. Wroten has been logging a lot more playing time next to Michael Carter-Williams and could maintain a secondary role off the bench while the Sixers are healthy. His inefficiency at the line and from the floor keep his fantasy upside low, though.

Tony Wroten (illness) back at 76ers' practice | 01/09/2014 2:37 PM

News

Tony Wroten resumed practicing on Thursday after missing a few days with migraines and an illness.

Dei Lynam on Twitter

Impact

His return prompted Philly to send reserve PG Lorenzo Brown to the D-League, and it seems as though Wroten will be ready to roll vs. the Pistons on Friday.

News

Tony Wroten (flu) did not travel with the 76ers to Cleveland for Tuesday's game.

Keith Pompey on Twitter

Impact

Lorenzo Brown figures to play more in his absence, as will James Anderson and starting SG Hollis Thompson. Wroten should be recovered in time for Friday's home game vs. the Pistons.

Tony Wroten (illness) won't play on Monday | 01/06/2014 5:28 PM

News

Tony Wroten will not play against the Wolves due to flu-like symptoms and a migraine.

Chris Vito on Twitter

Impact

He has been getting more minutes and even playing more shooting guard next to Michael Carter-Williams, so this is a little disappointing to see he won't be able to carry his momentum in a home game after a four-game road trip. The Sixers will likely use more James Anderson and Hollis Thompson tonight. Wroten should be considered questionable for Tuesday's game vs. the Cavs.

Tony Wroten plays 26 minutes vs. Blazers | 01/05/2014 1:41 AM

News

Tony Wroten played 26 minutes against the Blazers on Saturday, scoring 12 points with three boards, three assists, one steal and two turnovers.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

The Wroten-Michael Carter-Williams backcourt is building up some momentum after Wroten's 31-minute game on Thursday. The only problem is Wroten can't shoot the ball well, making only 42 percent from the field and 58 percent from the line on the season, so he'll have a tough time becoming a real fantasy asset in standard leagues. Although, Michael Carter-Williams had a head injury and Wroten's prospective owners would get a little bonus.

Tony Wroten scores 21 off Sixers bench | 01/03/2014 2:45 AM

News

Tony Wroten came off the bench to hit 6-of-13 shots and a 3-pointer on his way to 21 points, four rebounds, three assists and a steal as the Sixers beat the Kings for their third straight win.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Wroten had scored eight or fewer points in three of his previous four games and got some extra opportunity with Michael Carter-Williams struggling tonight. He's not worth starting in fantasy right now, but holding him as MCW insurance makes a ton of sense.

Tony Wroten quiet in win over Nuggets | 01/01/2014 11:39 PM

News

Tony Wroten had just seven points, five rebounds, one assist, one steal and one 3-pointer in 24 minutes of Wednesday's win over Denver.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Wroten scored 22 points on Saturday when Evan Turner was out, but has scored just seven or eight points in three of his last four games. He's still getting decent minutes, but as long as Michael Carter-Williams and Turner are healthy, Wroten won't be consistent enough to start in fantasy. MCW had 16 points, nine rebounds and six dimes tonight, while Turner came through with 23 points and a full stat line in the win.

Tony Wroten scores 22 off Sixers bench | 12/29/2013 2:00 AM

News

Tony Wroten played 30 minutes off the bench and hit 7-of-17 shots and two 3-pointers on his way to 22 points, two rebounds, two assists and two steals Saturday.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Evan Turner was out with a sore knee, so Wroten saw some extra minutes. Despite coming off the bench, Wroten is still averaging 16.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.6 3-pointers over his last five games, making him worth a look in most leagues.

Tony Wroten scored just eight points | 12/21/2013 11:59 PM

News

Tony Wroten cooled off against the Bucks on Saturday with eight points, five boards, one assist, one steal and one 3-pointer in 20 minutes.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

His 19-point game on Friday was a bit of a shock because he's more or less going to serve as a backup point guard. Wroten hasn't been playing with Michael Carter-Williams much, so it'll be tough for him to really flourish unless coach Brett Brown comes around and cuts down minutes for James Anderson and Hollis Thompson. Standard league owners should be able to do better than Wroten at this point.

Tony Wroten scores 19 points off the bench | 12/21/2013 2:09 AM

News

Tony Wroten scored 19 points off the bench on Friday with three boards, three assists and two 3-pointers on 8-of-17 shooting.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He and Michael Carter-Williams didn't see the court together until the third quarter, but Wroten was still able to pick up 24 minutes in the win. He attempted eight shots from downtown and could be able to sneak some low-end value in standard leagues despite his deficiencies in percentages. To be clear, his owners should not be expecting Friday's production on a regular basis.

Tony Wroten will come off the bench | 12/20/2013 5:31 PM

News

Tony Wroten will come off the bench on Friday.

Tom Moore on Twitter

Impact

With Michael Carter-Williams back in the lineup, Wroten's role is a little unclear. Coach Brett Brown said he will bring Wroten off the bench "sooner than later," but the two haven't been a successful tandem to date. The former Memphis player will take a big hit, so it's not a bad idea to cut him for a hot free agent. His value shouldn't completely fall apart, though.

Tony Wroten issued warning for flopping | 12/17/2013 11:27 AM

News

Tony Wroten has been issued a warning for flopping in a game vs. the Raptors.

probasketballtalk.com

Impact

Wroten pulled up for an uncontested 3-point shot, and then fell to the ground. He certainly deserved the warning, and next time he will be fined. Check out the link below if you'd like to see the flop for yourself.

"A couple games ago, Coach [Brown] came and brought me and Mike together and told us we needed to figure out how we're going to do playing together, because that's what he wants to do," Wroten said. "Brett's not saying we're both going to start, but he's just saying to keep it in mind and talk it over." Brown is somewhat concerned that Wroten's focus will wander once the ball isn't in his hands on every offensive possession, but the prospect of a shared backcourt is a clear-cut victory for Wroten's rest-of-season outlook.

Wroten continues to put up explosive lines | 12/15/2013 1:34 AM

News

Tony Wroten put up another explosive line in just 24 minutes of action, scoring 18 points on 5-of-15 shooting (2-of-4 3PTs, 6-of-10 FTs) with six rebounds, seven assists and a block in Saturday's blowout loss to the Blazers.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Wroten can't seem to do anything half speed, as he's going to put up big numbers in the Sixers' jackpot system and at the same time put big dents into owners' shooting percentages. He's worth owning while Michael Carter-Williams (knee) is out with a day-to-day injury that may have been better classified as week-to-week when it first showed its face about two weeks ago.

Tony Wroten stays hot as MCW sits again | 12/13/2013 10:17 PM

News

Tony Wroten hit 8-of-17 shots and five 3-pointers for 23 points, three rebounds, five assists and a steal in Friday's loss.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Michael Carter-Williams missed another game with his knee infection tonight and any time MCW is out, Wroten becomes a must-start player. More assists would have been nice, but we doubt his owners are complaining about this line.

Tony Wroten rebounds in loss to Wolves | 12/12/2013 12:20 AM

News

Tony Wroten shot 8-of-13 from the field for 20 points with three rebounds, four assists, one steal, one lock and one 3-pointer in 28 minutes.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He fouled out in this game and the foul trouble kept his minutes down tonight. Michael Carter-Williams (knee) should be back soon, but Wroten is worth starting in all leagues even with his sub-par 56 percent shooting from the free throw line as long as he's starting. His value will take a big hit once MCW is back, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

Tony Wroten flirts with triple-double again | 12/09/2013 10:55 PM

News

Tony Wroten flirted with a triple-double again on Monday vs. the Clippers with nine points, 10 boards, seven assists, one steal and one 3-pointer in 36 minutes.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He shot just 2-of-12 from the field in what turned out to be his worst start of the season. Chris Paul has shut down players a lot better than Wroten, so this isn't a surprise. Michael-Carter Williams (knee) wasn't ruled out until just a couple hours before the game, so there's a chance that the rookie can return to the lineup on Wednesday. Wroten should remain owned in all leagues until Carter-Williams can show he's back to 100 percent health.

Tony Wroten does it again w/ 20 pts in loss | 12/07/2013 9:45 PM

News

Tony Wroten made another start at PG on Saturday, scoring 20 points with five rebounds, one assist and one block, while making 10-of-20 field goals in 33 minutes.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Philly's fantastic fill-in continues to impress, and has become an automatic start whenever Michael Carter-Williams misses games -- MCW was out again tonight due to a bacterial infection in the skin of his right knee, but he's considered day-to-day. Keep an eye on the Sixers' injury report for Monday's home game vs. the Clippers.

Tony Wroten flirts with triple-double in loss | 12/06/2013 10:43 PM

News

Tony Wroten flirted with a triple-double against the Bobcats on Friday with 21 points, eight boards, nine assists, one steal, one block and two turnovers in 35 minutes.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He shot 10-of-22 from the field and was blowing by Kemba Walker most of the night for some easy buckets at the rim. Wroten entered tonight with terrific numbers as a starter this season, averaging 19.5 points, 4.0 boards, 5.5 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.5 triples in four games. Michael Carter-Williams is unlikely for Saturday, so Wroten makes for a great spot start vs. Denver on Saturday.

Sixers exploring the Wroten-MCW backcourt | 12/06/2013 5:46 PM

News

Coach Brett Brown said he will try to identify if Michael Carter-Williams and Tony Wroten can play alongside each other.

Chris Vito on Twitter

Impact

Since Carter-Williams returned from his foot injury on Nov. 20, Wroten has played in just 87 due to partially to a lower back strain. Of those 87 minutes, 31 minutes have been next to Michael Carter-Williams. When the two are on the court together in that aforementioned span, the Sixers allowed 51.6 percent from the field to their opponents compared to 48.3 percent when Wroten is on the bench. On offense, they are worse with Wroten at 41.8 percent vs. 45.7 without him. It looks like the Wroten-MCW lineup might be in trouble on the surface, but there is more to the story than just shooting. In the meantime, Wroten is a nice spot start with Carter-Williams out with a knee injury.

Tony Wroten falling off in Philly | 12/03/2013 11:22 PM

News

Tony Wroten played just 13 minutes in a double-overtime win over the Magic, scoring two points with two boards and one assist.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

The move of Hollis Thompson into the starting lineup has bumped James Anderson to the bench as the sixth man, which subsequently costs Wroten some minutes. He was barely holding value with some ugly shooting numbers, so owners in deeper leagues shouldn't be as enthusiastic about keeping Wroten on their rosters.

Tony Wroten will play on Friday | 11/29/2013 6:34 PM

News

Tony Wroten (back) will play against the Pelicans on Friday.

Tom Moore on Twitter

Impact

He missed two games with a lower back strain and it's unclear how many minutes he'll see with Michael Carter-Williams healthy at point guard. Coach Brett Brown did play Wroten at shooting guard while MCW was active last week, so he might be able to keep up some form of value in deep leagues. His ugly percentages do make him a bit of a liability, though.

Tony Wroten (strained lower back) will not play on Wednesday.

He was expected to suit up but must have felt worse than anticipated during shootaround. His absence leaves copious minutes for Michael Carter-Williams, while Lorenzo Brown mops up reserve minutes.

News

Tony Wroten (sore back) is expected to play on Wednesday.

Tom Moore on Twitter

Impact

Wroten had solid value while Michael Carter-Williams was injured, and he still played 28 minutes behind MCW last Wednesday. We'll keep an eye on him in the coming weeks, in case he sustains value in a backup role, though his poor shooting percentages do him no favors.

Tony Wroten sits out of practice on Monday | 11/25/2013 1:10 PM

News

Tony Wroten (strained lower back) did not practice on Monday.

Keith Pompey on Twitter

Impact

He missed Saturday's game after suffering the injury in Friday's game. Even with Michael Carter-Williams back, Wroten played 28 minutes in Wednesday's game against the Raptors, so he'll still be in the rotation. Although, shooting 41.2 percent from the field and 56.6 percent from the line isn't going to help his case for fantasy value. If he can't play Wednesday, Elliot Williams and Lorenzo Brown could see some more playing time.

Tony Wroten out for Saturday's game | 11/23/2013 6:53 PM

Tony Wroten will not play against the Pacers due to a lower back strain.

Keith Pompey on Twitter

Impact

He suffered the injury on Friday and did not return. Coach Brett Brown said Wroten didn't have much of a chance to play, but he sounds like a day-to-day guy for now. The Sixers are totally gutted on depth tonight and will have to go to Elliot Williams and maybe even Lorenzo Brown to help with the work at the guard spots.

Tony Wroten (lower back strain) won't return | 11/22/2013 9:05 PM

News

Tony Wroten suffered a lower back strain in Friday's game against the Bucks and he will not return.

Tom Moore on Twitter

Impact

He finished with three points, six assists and one steal in 11 minutes. Wroten excelled in his role as the starter while Michael Carter-Williams was out and he looks to have gained more minutes at shooting guard, but his field goal shooting is a major bugaboo. He should be considered questionable for Saturday. Newly-signed Elliot Williams will get an extended look while Wroten is out.

Wroten scores 19 points, 3-of-9 from FT line | 11/18/2013 11:49 PM

News

Tony Wroten got another start at point guard on Monday against the Mavs, scoring 19 points on 8-of-17 shooting with three rebounds, three assists and five steals in 37 minutes.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Wroten missed all four of his 3-point attempts and only hit 3-of-9 shots from the line, highlighting much of what will hold him back in fantasy leagues for the foreseeable future. Because of his 7.0 FTAs in his last four games at a putrid 57.1 clip, he's barely hanging onto late round value in 8-cat leagues and he's only a deep league play in 9-cat leagues.

Tony Wroten scores 19 in ugly loss | 11/17/2013 12:00 AM

Tony Wroten started again for injured Michael Carter-Williams and had 19 points, three rebounds, two assists, two steals and two 3-pointers, hitting 6-of-16 shots in Saturday's ugly loss to the Hornets.

The Sixers are starting to look more like the tanking team we were expecting to see early in the season, while Wroten remains an interesting fantasy play with news that MCW may not play next week.
